Figures Compared.

.Lord, how the world is given To-
lying" The last issue of the Cat
lettsburg Leader says that Law.
renee county Democrats should re-
tire to a quiet spot and be ashamed
of themselves for the wretched sup
port given McDyer, Buckner and
the State ticket It also glorifes
Boyd county for her conduct in the
late election, stating that the De-
moefacy gained 1913 votes over the
Cleveland vote. See how the fig
ures agree with the Leader Boyd's
vote for Cleveland, 1106; for Buck
ner, 1887; which is 10 votes less
for Buckner than for Cleveland.
Thus these figures prove that the
Leader missed the truth by 217
votes.
Lawrence gave Cleveland 1419
votes; Buckner, 11O6, or IL votes
less than for Cleveland.
We admit that we did badly and
are ashamed of it but we did bet
than Boyd by six votes, and we
don't propose TO allow them to
make'faces at us without telling
them oft. --.''.'-'''..- = - ..''a..'

Probably the most appalling dis
aster in the history of railway hor-
rors occurred on the night OF the
10th inst, about y o'clock, near
Chatsworth, Ill, on the Peoria and
Western road. A train of sixteen
coaches, containing $50 people,
rushed at the speed of nearly mile
a minute into a burning bridge, the
cars telescoping and piling one on
the other. Fire communicated to
the mass, but was extinguished by
the almost superhuman efforts Of
the 'uninjured men, who dug up
dry earth with their fingers and
smothered the fire, there being no
water near.
The number of killed is over 100
and the wounded about three times
that number.
The bodies of most of the dead
were robbed before daylight, and
this leads to the belief that the
bridge was set on fire by an organ
lied band of robbers.

The most surprising thing seen
in the returns from the recent cleo
ton is the tremendous vote that
was polled. The total vote is about
$4,000, which is 5000 in excess OF
the Presidential vote Of 1884. The
vote in round numbers is distribu-
ted as follows Buckner, $4,000 ;
Bradley, 10000; Fox, $1,000 Car
din, 5000. The vote for Bradley is
the largest ever cast for Republi-
can in this State. Blaine got 119,
600 votes in 1884, while in 1888,
Morrow, running for Governor, only
polled $4,000. In spite of BradleY's
increased vote, there is nothing to
indicate that he got any considera-
BILE Democratic support. The IA
600 votes given to Fox end Cardin
came almost wholly from. the Dem
ocrats. These added to Buckner's
vote would make it $4,000, an in
crease over Cleveland's vote of o.
600, or nearly as much as the in
crease Of Bradley's vote over that
of Blaine.
IL must be remembered that In
spite of the $4,000 votes polled,
there were at least $4,000 votes that
did not go 20 the polls. 1t is very
safe to say that four-ffths Of the
stay-at-homes were; Democrats.
The Republicans, stimulated by
Bradley's thorough and energetic
canvass, voted almost to a man.
There is no doubt that Bradley, re-
lying on Democratic apathy, fully
expected to be elected, and that ex.
pectation was shared not ~ the
leaders only, but by thousands o.
the rank and file.-Courier-J ournal
